4 fresh red chiles, such as serrano, stems removed
1/4 cup vinegar
3 tablespoons cumin seed

1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1/2 teaspoon cardamom seeds
1/2 teaspoon clove powder
Pinch nutmeg powder

Instructions
Soak the chiles in 1/4 cup vinegar for 20 minutes.
Dry-roast the cumin, mustard, turmeric, black peppercorns, cinnamon, cardamom, clove powder, and nutmeg powder in a skillet for about a minute, and then place them into a food processor or blender with the onion, garlic, ginger, red chiles in vinegar, 1/8 cup oil, 3/4 cup vinegar, sugar, and salt, and puree to a smooth paste.
In a large bowl, combine the meat and the spice paste, and marinate overnight, covered.
